In the context of Organic Design, Internet refers to the problem of maintaining IP connectivity amongst the people independently of the large-scale corporate infrastructure. And also to maintaining the information content of the web amongst ourselves via independent caching solutions. This has a lot of crossover with the peer-to-peer concept, but while that article is concerned with the bottom-up distributed aspect of the net, this article focuses on the actual connectivity issues.
